Mohamed Diomande admits the Rangers players are aware of the pressure they have been under recently.
The Ibrox side sit nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership and were booed off at half-time of their League Cup semi-final against Motherwell, which they would go on to win after second-half goals from Cyriel Dessers and Nedim Bajrami.
Rangers now travel to Greece to face Olympiakos in the Europa League, and midfielder Diomande wants to build on the Motherwell victory.
“There’s been a lot of pressure,” Diomande said. “Obviously, we’re not going to hide it.
“And we’ve had poor performances lately but it’s all about bouncing back and I think we are on the right way to get to the level we expect of ourselves and the coaches, also in what the fans expect. So we’re getting there.
“Olympiacos is a big team. But we have also shown that we can win games away from home.
“And yeah, it’s going to be a tough game but we are going to try get the three points.
“Hard work, determination, and we are going to prepare ourselves to do what the coach says we should do to win the game.
“It’s confidence for us (Motherwell win), and even though it was hard on Sunday, I’m happy that we showed a winning mentality and we came back to win. And that’s a good way to go into a more difficult game.”
